Evening ladies and gents...
I was fortunate to take a mule deer late last week with a Remington Model 7 in 7mm-08 shooting a 139 Hornady Interlock over 48 grains of RL 19. A modest velocity load which, in my opinion, cup n' cores excel. However, I was not expecting the performance that I experienced in the field.
I shot a mule deer from about 120 yards away. He was quartering away from me extremely hard and my only shot, which I took, was a few inches to the left of the Cheerio. I took said shot, the deer went 20 yards and died very, very quickly.
The bullet shattered the left leg about 4 inches below the spine, went through the guts, through the goods and exited at the neck/shoulder junction on the right side of the deer. Unfortunately, most of the back left ham was full of bone fragments and jelly and was inedible.
I knew at 7mm-8 velocities this bullet would perform well but I wasn't expecting that.
Anyone else have similar performance from this bullet or was this just an anomoly?
Have a great evening fellers...
